The journey of the children of Israel from Egypt to the promised land of Canaan was carried out at the commandment of the Lord. He led Israel through the entire wilderness journey by a pillar of cloud in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night. The host of Israel acknowledged the presence of the Lord in their midst and followed every of His commandments to journey or pitch their tent. They did not argue with the leadership of their Commander.

Jesus Christ is the Word of God and the creator of all things. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist - Colossians 1:16-17. It is therefore not possible to live a meaningful life without him. In John Chapter 15:5b, he said: for without me ye can do nothing.
